BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Schnauzer Found Shot In Oakland Expected To Survive - News Story - KTVU San Francisco

$10,000
for a dog that may turn around and just do it again. 

Not saying the dog should not have been be treated. 

Not saying a person would have been more deserving of the money spent instead.

I am saying,

The dog did run away.

Will probably do it again.

Did not know what was going to happen before, during, after he got injured. 

Or

why we, owners, veterinarian, rescue groups, etc., etc.  where hurting him too.


Obvious,

 had they put the dog down, the owner would have kept the money, if they had it to begin with; whatever they didn't put on credit.

Veterinary Specialist have it made;   with regular veterinarian screening out the one's that can't pay, and charge for everything as well.
